One of the real howlers we have heard during the past eight years is that the Bush administration has practiced “politics instead of science.” In other words, Bush (in one of the few decent things he did as president) did not do the politically-expedient things and impose an environmental reign of terror upon us in the name of “stopping climate change.”

We don’t have to worry about the Obama administration “politicizing” science. Oh, no. Obama is going to do whatever Al Gore tells him, and everyone knows that Gore has nothing to do with politics. Obama’s latest appointments, along with his establishment of the office of “climate czar” with the radical environmental extremist Carol Browner to lead the law, is going to unleash a regulatory holocaust on us in the name of giving us better weather:

WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama on Saturday named a Harvard physicist and a marine biologist to science posts, signaling a change from Bush administration policies on global warming that were criticized for putting politics over science.

Both John Holdren and Jane Lubchenco are leading experts on climate change who have advocated forceful government response. Holdren will become Obama’s science adviser as director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; Lubchenco will lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees ocean and atmospheric studies and does much of the government’s research on global warming.

We are supposed to believe that the global warming cult, which has suppressed dissent and whose cult prophet, James Hansen, has called for “global warming deniers” to be thrown into prison, is only interested in “good science.” The “global warming” movement is about one thing and one thing only: controlling people.

Remember, these are people who insist that carbon dioxide is a “dangerous pollutant” (which Obama promises to declare his first day in office). Since all people exhale carbon dioxide, that means that all human beings are “dangerous polluters,” which subsequently means that people themselves must be controlled.

I predict that the Obama administration, with its emphasis upon empowering labor unions and radical environmentalists, will make the Bush administration look to be benign in comparison. I fully believe that this will be the most dictatorial administration in U.S. History — and many who criticized Bush for his abuse of power will be singing the praises of The Chosen One.
